Control Theory
FSI-VVFAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course is aimed to modern methods in design and synthesis of control circuits using methods of artificial intelligence. Presented are selected methods of artificial intelligence, optimal and adaptive methods of control, fuzzy control and neural controller. Students will adopt theoretical and practical implementation of these methods and RT control. The course broadens knowledge of specific parts of applied informatics in the field of advanced control. Used is the most advanced software and hardware technology of companies B&R Automation and Mathworks (Matlab/Simulink) and substantial know-how of course's authors.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
In order to be awarded the course-unit credit students must prove 100% active participation in laboratory exercises and elaborate a paper on the presented themes. The exam is written and oral. In the written part a student compiles two main themes which were presented during the lectures and solves three examples. The oral part of the exam will contain discussion of tasks and possible supplementary questions.

Aims
The basic aim of the course is to provide students with the knowledge of physical principles of control, optimal control, adaptive control, fuzzy control and identification of dynamic systems.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Attendance and activity at the seminars are required. One absence can be compensated for by attending a seminar with another group in the same week, or by the elaboration of substitute tasks. Longer absence can be compensated for by the elaboration of compensatory tasks assigned by the tutor.
